How do I connect Imf MCP Server to Claude?

The listing records `docker run --rm -p 3010:3010 imf-mcp-server` as its setup step. Run it, then follow the repository's instructions for the client configuration; the listing names Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code as compatible clients.

Is Imf MCP Server free?

The listed licence is Apache-2.0. Check the upstream terms for permitted use and commercial requirements; a public repository does not by itself mean the software is free or open source. Connected APIs and hosted services may have separate charges.

What can Imf MCP Server do?

Imf MCP Server documents 9 tools to the agent, including imf_dataframe_describe, imf_dataframe_query, imf_get_database. The descriptions above come from project documentation. A live handshake does not test individual tool behavior.

9 of 9 tools

Documented tools (9)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

imf_dataframe_describe

List DataCanvas tables and columns staged by a prior imfquerydataset call

imf_dataframe_query

Run a read-only SQL SELECT across staged DataCanvas tables for multi-country comparisons and aggregations

imf_get_database

Fetch a dataflow's dimension list and a codelist preview per dimension — resolves human terms to SDMX codes before querying

imf_list_databases

List IMF SDMX dataflows available on the portal, a page at a time, with optional name/ID substring filtering

imf_query_dataset

Query a dataflow by dimension key over a time range; large result sets spill to DataCanvas

key_format

field shows the exact dot-separated dimension order required by imfquerydataset

no_data

errors include availability context from the upstream constraint endpoint: a dataflow that publishes no series at all is reported as such and points at a different dataflow, since no key would work; otherwise seriescount=0 means the code has no coverage and dataflowavailability names codes that do,

start_period

/ endperiod accept YYYY, YYYY-SN, YYYY-QN, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD whatever the series frequency, and cover the whole period they name — endperiod: 2023 includes 2023-M12 and 2023-Q4

unit

is the upstream code — PT, USD, XDC, IX, NUM. Every key shape reports the same unit: the portal drops the unit block when a key uses + on the dimension that carries it, and one extra attributes-only request recovers it, so USA.NGDPRPCH+NGDPD.A and USA.NGDPRPCH+NGDPD. both report USD and PT. That key
